"Just because you're underfoot doesn't mean you should be oppressed. For too long, kobolds, goblins, dark creepers, and other runty humanoids have been the butt of jokes and the punch line of every Cleave-happy fighter. It's gotta stop. Magic the Gathering gives goblins gunpowder and rocket sleds. WoW gives them engineering and explosives. D&D gives them nothing but grief. It's time for change. Free the kobolds goblins!"
~ Wolfgang Baur: Former editor of Dragon magazine, author of several million
RPG articles and gaming supplements, and publisher of The Kobold Quarterly
"As I have mentioned in my podcast, it's a crying shame that Goblins
have been relegated to the oubliette of species. As the president of
the Helping Association for Confined Creatures (HACC), we spend a lot
of time assisting these little guys. HACC joins in solidarity with the
GDF to work to stop this species-ist marginalization!"
~ Sam Chupp, podcaster for The Bear's Grove, co-creator of Changeling: The Dreaming
and Wraith: the Oblivion, and the founder of the HACC.
"For years, goblins have been seen as selfish, backstabbing cowards. Sure, that might be an entirely accurate description, but it still doesn't give so-called heroes the right to run around slaughtering the little guys for fun and profit. Do we really want to raise our children in a world which celebrates such rampant gobliphobia?"
~ Jim C. Hines, author of Goblin Quest, Goblin Hero, and Goblin War
"A creature's heart and personality are not measured by how much XP they're worth. Goblins, who are among the lowest on the XP ladder, have their stories to tell. They are parents, siblings, lovers and friends. They have much to learn and much to teach and they do it all in a style that only they can. Honour them as friends, respect them as enemies and recognize their right to exist."
~ Tarol, Goblin's Comic
